Daystar: a peep into the workings of the Sun

Venkatakrishan, P (World Scientific Publishing, 2018)

This book is an attempt to demystify the activities of a celestial object such as the Sun appealing to basic physics already available to high school students. Building on simple logic, the contents begin with measurements ...
Diffraction limited imaging with large and moderate telescopes

Saha, S. K (World Scientific Publishing, 2007)

This book deals with the fundamentals of wave optics, polarization, interference, diffraction, imaging, and the origin, properties, and optical effects of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. Techniques developed during ...
Experimental Validation of a Novel Concept to Reduce Optical Surface Wave Front Errors by Using Deformable Bushes at Opto-Mechanical Interfaces

Nagabhushana, S; Prasad, B. R; Nagesh, Suresh; Venkata Suresh, Narra; Sandeep, D. S; Kamath, P. U; Misra, Shalab; Hegde, Bhavana; Utkarsha, D; Sinha, Mrityunjay Kumar; Kathiravan, S; Natarajan, V; Pawan, Kumar; Amit Kumar (World Scientific Publishing, 2022-03)

One of the major objectives of the optomechanics is to support large optics required for the purpose and also to maintain high dynamic stability in operation. This requirement calls for more number of supports, to support ...
Heliophysical processes

Gopalswamy, N (editor); Hasan, S. S (editor); Ambastha, A (editor) (Springer-Verlag, 2010)

An outgrowth of the first Asia-Pacific Regional School on the International Heliophysical Year (IHY), this volume contains a collection of review articles describing the universal physical processes in the heliospace ...
High resolution imaging: detectors and applications

Saha, S. K (Pan Stanford publishing, 2015)

Interferometric observations need snapshots of very high time resolution of the order of (i) frame integration of about 100 Hz or (ii) photon-recording rates of several megahertz (MHz). Detectors play a key role in ...
Hydrogen deficient stars and related objects: proceeding of the 87th colloquium of the international astronomical union held at Mysore, India, 10–15 November 1985

Hunger, K (editor); Schonberner, D (editor); Kameswara Rao, N (editor) (D. Reidel Publishing Company, 1986)

The first helium star was discovered in 1942, the first scientific meeting on the subject, however, took place in 1985. The meeting was hence long overdue for, in the meantime, a substantial amount of material had been ...
